I think it is more likely that he's been poisoned by the actual poison he's had injected into his forehead
Could Rooney have been poisoned by the bum-hair transplant?
- Thread starter InspiRED
- Start date
It's only fair he does what he fans are doing while watching.
So his heading ability has decreased because the ball sticks to the winnits on his head?
Enty to go around. He could have just used mine or any other United fans hair for that matter as he has had us pulling ours out for over 3 seasons now.
Eriksen, Sneijder, Klopp, Conte, Fabregas,... All had much better success than poor Rooney.
Doubt his facial appearance has got anything to do with testosterone or his hair treatment.I gather that the medication taken to make sure the hair stays put really does effect Testosterone levels, which, as an athlete is crucial.
I also have to say that I thought he looked so much better when he was balding, and my g/f agrees.
But more than the hair, his face before did look higher testosterone and less soft, and his eyebrows are obviously dramatically different too...
I guess I always would've thought Rooney seemed the type of guy to just shave his head and get on with it.
Just goes to show that even the highest paid, and most adored people can clearly have quite bad self-esteem issues.
Rooney was also a star from the age of 16, so he might have a slightly warped view of reality, since his own reality must have been so surreal from such an early age.
He's always had a potato face. People without tight skin are going to look more doughy as they age. His skin is simply sagging and his skin folds have become deeper. He has genes that mean he's ageing quickly. He has to have extremely low body fat for his face to look chiselled and angular, and he probably retains water very easily.
He had stubble to sharpen his face in picture one, too.
As for the eyebrows - it's surely a mixture of plucking and Botox. Not testosterone levels.
Look at Beckham as another example:
Just like Rooney, once the Botox wears off, his eyebrows don't have that crazy arched look to them, and the forehead lines reappear.

I miss this old Rooney, before the contract sagas. Genuinely used to think that he was one of us.Looks so unfit compared to back then.
Stop splitting hairs, he's just finished. He has A LOT of miles on the clock, he's simply out of steam and not very good at football anymore to be effective at this level.
I think its more a case of maths
getting older + getting married + having kids + losing his aggression + a body that has played non-stop football for 15 years + no competition for his place + not adjusting his physical shape like Giggs did = modern day Rooney
I heard he was booed by England fans last night..... Rooney has had his twat moments but his career doesnt deserve to finish in a chorus of boos.... i hope he accepts his squad role at United

it's very rare. There are only dozens of us. Dozens.
Kinda feel sorry for him these days
It's up to him to realise he's finished. What irks most fans is that he still wants to play an important role even though he lacks the ability anymore. His presence serves only his desire to break records, England do not need him at all, not on the pitch at least.
Good, important thread, and a very good OP which voices thoughts I have been having for years.
I used to admire Rooney very much.
His decision with that hair nonsense changed everything.
He stopped being the inimitable, lovable force of nature that he was the moment this hair transplant nonsense started.
You've hit the nail on the head, even if not necessarily with the anus hair chemicals theory. But it was his fall from grace, and I'm willing to believe it impacted his performances as well on some hitherto scientifically unexplainable level. He hasn't been world class ever since.
Aw, maybe it's cuz I'm a Dad myself, or maybe because of nostalgia, but that picture just sums up the 'original Rooney' - that cheeky Evertonian wonder-kid who played with such freedom.
I bet when he was 12 he was better than most 16-18 year olds in any academy in the country.
He was great. Needs to retire from Internationals and try to get his focus back - in a realistic way.
His desire and passion for the game is too high? I presume you still hold onto the conspiracy theories that he has must-play clauses in his contract, and that the media is totally on his side and will attack anyone who has a go at him?
Those are the only ways his desire and passion would be a bad thing. Unless you want to make up some other conspiracy theory to explain it away.
Footballer in wanting to play football shocker, what a cnut.
Yeah the difference between the two photos is striking, it's almost as if he can move the muscles in his face to form different facial expressions.
It makes you wonder how he will cope when he hangs his boots up. I cannot see him being a Gary Neville with a business empire. He will need to get straight back into football almost immediately as I think he will go nuts without it through boredom.
What do you expect him to do.... Hey United, tear up that contract....I'm not good enough
He wants to play and you can't blame him for that
He's been an important player in all his career - any player with pride would find it hard to take a back seat but he hasnt been mouthing off about being on the bench for United
Thats all besides the point..... given what he's contributed to club and country he deserves better than being booed for mediocre performances
Its the manager who is to blame for picking him
Because all footballers tell the media they want to change positons at the top level then moan about not being given a fair chance, when they indeed did have a chance and looked terrible
I have the same thought for years now. Never got the guts to start a thread on it though. So, well done to you
There are indeed theories on this albeit never proven. You just don't mess with nature unless to save life.
But in all seriousness, he is just burnt-out. Simple as.
He did all that did he, he told the media this or they asked him a question and he answered it? When did he moan about not being given a fair chance then? Not saying he didn't just don't recall reading it.
Besides Van Gaal spent the best part of two seasons playing him on and off in midfield, then Hodgson followed suit. And pundits have been banging on for a good 10 years about him eventually dropping back into midfield. Can hardly blame him for thinking it would be the natural move for him.
Its the beginning of the end, the shlong juice covered hair is now exerting a negative influence on his brain waves.
You havnt been reading the media this week I assume
Outrageous! Burn him at the stake!
What a shit hair transplant job.
We should have showed him a picture of Zinedine Zidane and explain the bald can still be great!
This was the queen among Rooney threads, however it's descended into another dogfight.
Using that image to make my point here. The idea he has legit excuses for not being in this shape in 2016 is wrong. It's flat out wrong.Looks so unfit compared to back then.
He's 30, not fecking 40 or 50. There's athletes everywhere older than him in much better shape. Keane was always in great nick in his later years as an example.
He's a horrible example of an athlete, especially one that has been so pandered to with grossly exaggerated wages. It's his one fecking job and he should be rightly heavily criticised for not putting in the necessary work to accomplish it. It's disrespectful to United ultimately, beyond himself.
Guilty mate, i don't read tabloids. And don't really follow football news in general these days, i only really keep track of things through the Caf.You havnt been reading the media this week I assume
What do you think most top class athletes at 30 look like?
Nah, I'm going with the arse hair theory and quite frankly if he's had his gooch grafted that could go some way of explaining his bad first touch, I hear a gooch graft onto the cranium can have some serious side effects, a bloke down my local had one done and after a few beers he can't tell his arse from his elbow and starts to talk utter bollocks.
You're clueless.
Rooney was training like a first team professional at 16, possibly even 14 or 15.
He was playing first team football in the Premier League at 16.
Most professionals don't reach that level until their early 20's. He might be thirty, but he has the wear and tear of someone who is 35-36 maybe even 37.
His style of play was also aggressive and physical. That adds even more abuse to the body. Here is a tip, bodies don't break down just from age, they break down from use. There are 22 year olds with arthritic knees from American football. How dare those kids have arthritic knees. They are a disgrace not actively taking care of their bodies...
This would be a better conspiracy theory and explain why he was so good when he was young and declined at such an early age.
Racist.
This man has figured it out.People might laugh but there is a precedent....
How does any of that address him being blatantly overweight? I mean I'm genuinely curious being clueless and all.
Met him not too long ago, genuinely is in pretty good shape when you see him.
